For many patients, the traditional face lift may not adequately address the upper cheek and lower eyelid areas of the face, which often flatten and elongate with age.  For this reason, we also frequently perform a mid face lift. We find our patients prefer the natural and youthfulness of this procedure over the cheek lift, mini face lift, S-lift, lifestyle lift, and thread lift Deciding which procedure is right for you will be discussed during your complimentary consultation with Dr. Anderson.

During the mid face lift procedure, minimal incisions behind the hairline are created to raise the sagging cheek tissues, giving a more youthful appearance to the cheekbones and reducing the  nasolabial laugh lines around the mouth.  The result is a younger appearance to the mid face area.

Many patients in the Seattle and Bellevue area request the mid-facelift procedure along with the lower (traditional) facelift to create a more dramatic, rejuvenating effect for the entire face.  We can, and often do, combine procedures with the mid face lift to meet each patient’s needs.

One procedure we frequently combine with the mid-facelift is the endoscopic forehead lift. This procedure lifts the sagging brow and surrounding areas, giving the face a more youthful, rested and refreshed look.
